I hear the new Dutch coalition agreement includes this (translation): “We are also investigating the introduction of an electoral threshold and a new electoral system for the House of Representatives, in which preferential votes are given more weight.” Fascinating to see how this plays out.

reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”

I love football, especially my beloved Olympique de Marseille. But Infantino makes it extremely difficult not to consider boycotting the World Cup. It was already a close call with the one in Qatar

Friday brought good news and bad news. Today I am now allowed to share the good. Via the generous donation of the Wallenberg Foundation and the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, I now have a few million euros to help understand more about the selective inclusion of LGBTQ+ citizens

So this happened a little while ago. I'm very grateful to the judges from the @psaireland.bsky.social and to @kevcunningham.bsky.social for generous financial support of the prize. It was great to be in Galway a few weeks ago to collect the award at the PSAI annual conference. lnkd.in/dEsZBksB

I don’t see this article predicting the end of surveys, just a faster, somewhat forced shift toward higher-quality sampling. The solutions it lists (pts 1–5 on p. 9) are already known but costly and depend on survey firms’ willingness to cooperate (1/2)

🚨 New working paper 🚨 We often see populist parties like Reform UK blame higher energy bills on climate change policies. What are the political consequences of this strategy? Very early draft; comments and criticisms are welcomed! full draft: z-dickson.github.io/assets/dicks...

Cool new working paper on why and how cable news threw gasoline on the culture war fire. The culture war isn't optimal for electoral candidates, but it's optimal for cable news companies. ungated: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/27v4x...

Help candidates on the market by signing up for a mock interview. It doesn't cost you much time, but it can help candidates tremendously!

Rejection is one of the toughest parts about academia and this post provides some great guidance on how to deal with it (that I will start trying to follow myself). Here's a couple of thoughts that the post triggered, if those happen to be of interest:

🚨 New paper out! Very happy to see our (Tom Arend, @fabioellger.bsky.social and mine) paper out at the @bjpols.bsky.social. We explore how voters react to new, disruptive political actors. 1/3

Despite everything else going on, France last night honoured Robert Badinter, the former justice minister who ended the death penalty in 🇫🇷 in 1981. He entered the Panthéon in a moving moment of national tribute that the French do so well

New office, new role: I’ve started a new job this summer as an Assistant Prof at Warwick. Now I just need some good books to fill these shelves. Recommendations welcome!

I agree with Charlotte, but I'd add the Max Weber Fellowship to the list. I cannot emphasize how great the programme is (research, networking, quality of life, social life, etc). The deadline is a month before the IAST's fellowship: www.eui.eu/apply?id=max...

This week, I’ve started a new position as Assistant Professor at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs. I’m excited to open this new chapter at @unileiden.bsky.social !

In a moment when the narrative has swung so far to the other end, this book by Volha Charnysh is more important than ever. It shows the displacement of people historically fostered state capacity, private entrepreneurship, and long-term economic performance. www.cambridge.org/core/books/u...

I'm looking for someone UK-based with web-scraping skills who can scrape a substantial amount of data for me from the French parliamentary website in exchange for a fixed (negotiable) one-off fee.  French language skills are not essential as full instructions will be provided. 1/2

Are you interested in how parties' parliamentary behavior (e.g., passing bills, calling for elections, forming coalitions, cooperating/conflicting) affects voters (e.g., electoral behavior, perceptions, affective polarization)? Please let me know. I am putting together an MPSA panel proposal.

Amazing work from @evakrejcova.bsky.social @filipkostelka.bsky.social and N.Sauger!
